Description

Indicated for moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, infected or at risk of infection, and can act as a haemostat to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds
May be used during the healing process on decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers), venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns, and cavity wounds
Sterile, non-woven material composed of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate
Highly absorbent to manage moderate- to high-exuding wounds and create a favorable environment for effective wound management
High gelling action promotes fast healing through a moist wound environment
Soft, conformable, non-woven sheet transforms into clear, soft, cohesive gel when in contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist wound environment, which assists in the wound healing process and aids autolytic debridement
Excellent wet and dry strength
Unique quilting pattern aids with absorbency, tensile performance, intimate wound bed contact
CMC-based material features quilting pattern design enhanced with hidden reinforcement layer for improved wet integrity and superior tensile perfomance allowing the clinician the confidence that the dressing remain intact when removed during dressing change
Low lateral wicking performance minimizes risk of excoriation and maceration of wound and peri-wound skin
Innovative combination of two proven wound care technologies based on CMC and alginate fibers
Uniquely design developed to provide all the benefits of an alginate dressing whilst also offering a high wet strength and clear gelling properties, to ensure a maintained moist wound environment
Calcium ions present within the alginate fibers of the dressing exchange with sodium ions found in the wound exudate
Donation of calcium benefits the wound by stimulating cytokines essential to the wound healing process
Vertically absorbs exudate into the dressing reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the peri wound skin
Square sheet design measures 2 in x 2 in (5.1 cm x 5.1 cm)
Individually packaged for single sterile use
Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex
Packaged: 1 Each, 10 Each Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case

Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help prevent skin damage?

Yes. The dressing features a unique quilting pattern designed for vertical absorption. This helps minimize lateral wicking, which significantly reduces the risk of maceration and excoriation to the sensitive skin surrounding the wound.

Is this dressing easy to remove after use?

Yes. Upon contact with wound exudate, the fibers transform into a soft, cohesive gel. This gel structure maintains its integrity thanks to a hidden reinforcement layer, allowing for gentle, intact removal without leaving residue in the wound bed.

Can this be used on deep or cavity wounds?

Yes, this dressing is well-suited for cavity wounds. Because it is highly absorbent and conforms to the wound bed as it gels, it is effective at managing moisture in deeper wounds as well as surface-level ulcers.

How does this dressing promote faster healing?

It uses an advanced ion-exchange mechanism. Calcium ions within the dressing exchange with sodium ions in the wound fluid; this process releases calcium, which helps stimulate cytokines vital to the natural healing process.

Is it safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients or clinical staff with latex sensitivities.

What type of wounds is this best for?

It is specifically indicated for moderately to heavily exuding wounds, including:

Pressure ulcers
Venous, arterial, and diabetic ulcers
Surgical wounds
Burns
Cavity wounds
It can also act as a haemostat for minor bleeding.

Will the dressing fall apart when it gets wet?

No, it is engineered for high durability. It features a hidden reinforcement layer and a quilted pattern that ensures the dressing remains intact and maintains its structure, even when fully saturated with exudate.

Are these individually packaged and sterile?

Yes, every dressing is individually packaged to guarantee sterility for single-use applications, ensuring a clean and safe environment for every dressing change.

Is this suitable for professional clinical environments?

Absolutely. This is a professional-grade dressing widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home health care environments where maintaining a balanced, moist wound environment is a priority for healing.

What are the primary materials used?

The dressing is composed of a non-woven matrix containing:

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
High G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate
These materials are specifically chosen for their ability to turn into a gel upon contact with moisture.
